Well,
It has been a long summer on the road but I managed to fly for real at least once every two months and kept my G2 stuff in my backpack for the rest of the time. I hate not building and flying in real space. Don't get me wrong, I think cyber space flying on G2 and other such simulators is great for practicing most of the basics. But......nothing beats building and flying.

Here are some pics of the evolution of the Scale Flat Foam Flip 3D ( now called the 3D Flipper) that started early this year. this is the prototype of the 3D Flipper V3 with an all foam, built up 20% semetrical airfoil wing. It should maiden tomorrow if weather permits. As a prototype it lacks a bit of finish flash but I think you will like the concept.

I will post some construction pics on this thread as well as a flight review as soon as I can. These posts and pics will focus mainly on the wing build as many of the other techniques are the same as before. The finished product will have to have a beter treatment to the Fuse because I think structurally the wing is very sound and deserves a beter Fuse even if it means steping up to the next size motor/ESC combo. This wing is extreamly ridged. Untill I get some more time here is a pic of the finished prototype.

Enjoy!
